      Ok guys before the wee lad Noah starts teething (way off) those amber necklaces really work our Daughter Kaylee was crying all the time and drooling like a gun dog 😂 as soon I was a huge skeptic but I was willing to give anything a go to stop her pain anyway as soon as we put it on her the drooling stopped and she stopped crying as much it works 100%

    Hi guys. Please don’t panic about getting back to “the big trips”. Many of us really love you documenting the UK tourist destinations and villages. As an Aussie you are helping my wife and I plan our next UK trip …. Very valuable content. More pubs, B&B’s, nice walks, beautiful villages and we’ll be very happy. ❤

    That is a beautiful cottage, but I am pleased I don't own it. I lived in a cottage, in a village many years ago. It had stone walls two feet thick, and roof timbers with the original bark, exposed roof beams in the ceilings. It was built in 1564 and was in need of bringing to modern building standards.

    The smaller the baby, the easier to travel. It's starts easy and gets harder with toddlers, etc. Enjoy! 😆 Seriously, that baby will be a teenager before you know it.

    • @denverdubois5835
      @denverdubois5835 Рік тому +5

      Exactly, infants are actually pretty easy to travel with. Toddlers are hard, and once they reach 4 or so and really start to need stability so they can do preschool and start making friends for life--then you pretty much need to figure something else out. I have lifelong friends I met when I was 4-6 years old and grew up with...I wouldn't trade them for anything.

    • @findingoureden
      @findingoureden Рік тому +5

      Then once they get a little older than toddler, it starts getting easier again. It's just a challenge when they're that age where they're newly mobile but totally uninterested in what's going on around them, unless it's stimulating... 😁

    I love this! My parents took me traveling right away, and I got my first passport for international travel when I was four months old in 1979. I’ve also traveled internationally and domestically with my daughter when she was little. Babywearing was a lifesaver. People think it’s difficult to travel with kids, but I have traveled with other adults, and sometimes it feels like I’m herding cats and juggling a preschool with just a single adult travel partner, lol. Babies are the easy ones.

    Oh, my! Thank you guys! summer 2022 our family got to visit the UK but we only stopped for tea at Lucy's in Stow-in-the-wold. but i did make them take a photo at the church! What i really wanted to say is that I also became a first time Mom in my thirties and getting a regular out-and-about-in-everyday-life routine with a baby was challenging and took a whole new approach then what I had known before her. but our daughter, now 16, now likes to check out the world, new places, peoples, culture, foods and that's largely because we all stepped out everyday tackled those things together. Cheers to y'all and your dear intrepid family.

    I was taken to Bourton and that museum to see Brum for the day for a primary school trip.

I loved Emma's completely blank expression.

    Hi A/E/N, I agree traveling with infant is so much easier. My son traveled abroad to visit grandparents/families at 3 mos. He visited a dozen countries before 1 yr.old. flight over / back slept, ate, diapers changes, Repeat. Visiting Scandinavia in deeps snows of winter (-30 +F). Took daily strolls outside, and dressed in many layers. Little planning, and several day packs set up, so you were always prepared for anything that may arise . I always mapped out a traveling route with pharmacy & health food stores just incase a cold or ear infection started up. You are such a lovely family unit!!!💜🌸🌷🌸💜 (Posted from WI/AR USA)

    Wow, this video really resonated with me! As someone who loves to travel and is considering starting a family, the idea of full-time travel with a newborn is both exciting and intimidating. It's great to see your perspective and hear about your experiences. It's clear that there are challenges involved, but it seems like you've approached it with careful planning and consideration. I appreciate your honesty about the mistakes you've made along the way, as it provides valuable insights for those of us who may be contemplating a similar lifestyle. It's important to remember that every family is different, and what works for one may not work for another. Ultimately, it's about finding a balance that suits your family's needs and prioritizing your child's well-being. Thank you for sharing your story and shedding light on this topic!

    Hey thanks a lot for sharing your newborns journey with us. It is a pleasure to see you on the road with him. Emma, a small comment about immunization. Best gift you can make to Noah is breastfeeding him as long as possible. With our now 8year old boy, we where avoiding salt and sugar for the first two years. Might needs a bit more time to prepare the food, but it was worth to do it. This helps to build up a good imune system. Looking forward for new videos about you three-beans 😃
